- people who wants to step in to the security- people with limited network/system knowladge who want to develop their skills- people who are not qualifing for CISSP just yet and want to learn more about practical side of security - finally for all who are instersted in gathering all aspects of PenTesting in one place

- a couple of degrees covering InformationSecurity aspects- vendor and non-vendor certifications since 2006- 4 years work experience in system/network support/deployment- a few months ago I was conducting PCI audit along with a third party company...so I had a chance to see how comercial pen test looks from inside and outside the companny...

what I did to study?

- official mile2 training Kit containing Labs, books, DVD's and so on...- exploring Backtrack and open source methodologies for the pen test...

thats it...

As I said before, in my opinion this exam would be probably easy for someone who is stepping into IT...not having a few years comercial experience in IT...
